Operationalizing Agentic AI with Hitachi iQ Studio and NVIDIA Nemotron 3

NVIDIA just announced NVIDIA Nemotron 3, a new family of open models, datasets, and libraries designed to support long-context reasoning and multi-step AI workflows. With the ability to work across enterprise ecosystems, this family of models empowers enterprises to build and deploy reliable multi-agent systems at scale, offering an important set of technologies at a pivotal moment in AI evolution.

Enterprise AI is moving beyond single-prompt interactions and experimental agentic outcomes toward systems that reason over time, across inputs, and in a predictable way. Nemotron 3 addresses this shift by focusing on agentic use cases, efficiency, and enterprise.

Here’s why it matters: Agentic AI is moving from experimentation to production. As a result, the core challenge is no longer access to models but building AI systems that operate reliably at scale. Agentic AI increases complexity by design, introducing long-running workflows, persistent context, governance and cost control as first-order concerns. In fact, more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027, due to escalating costs, unclear business value or inadequate risk controls, according to Gartner, Inc.

At Hitachi Vantara, our strategic relationship with NVIDIA has given us a front-row seat to the evolution of capabilities they offer to address the larger-scale needs that enterprise agentic AI requires, especially as workloads scale. As such, we’ve integrated NVIDIA technologies into the Hitachi iQ portfolio of AI solutions, which delivers the infrastructure, data access, and deployment required to run AI workloads at scale.

In particular, our recently launched Hitachi iQ Studio solution will incorporate the Nemotron 3 family of open models, benefiting from the longer context windows, higher efficiency, and best-in-class accuracy. Hitachi iQ Studio helps organizations design, deploy and manage AI agents and applications at scale using no- and low-code capabilities, pre-built blueprints and sovereign data control. Hitachi iQ Studio will use Nemotron 3 to extend our enterprise offerings with richer insights from enterprise data. This is crucial, as our recent research indicates AI is already critical to more than a third of businesses, yet 37% of IT leaders are concerned about the lack of quality data.

At a fundamental level, Hitachi iQ Studio is the operational and orchestration layer that turns agentic AI into a productive system. It provides workflow orchestration, governance and lifecycle management for AI workflows built on models like those in the Nemotron 3 family. Together, they enable enterprises to move agentic AI from concept to production with confidence. In turn, businesses can accelerate enterprise pilot-to-production transitions, achieve more reliable AI outcomes, strengthen governance and cost control, and deploy agentic AI confidently in regulated or controlled environments.

What’s more, Hitachi iQ is built on the Hitachi Vantara Virtual Storage Platform One (VSP One) unified data platform, enabling the powerful scaling and resiliency critical to managing the future of AI workloads. This allows organizations to streamline their infrastructure and maximize the return on their AI investments.

Our focus remains on what it takes to run AI reliably in enterprise environments — and with the Nemotron 3 model family, Hitachi iQ and iQ Studio deliver.
